Corduroy - Live: Flinders Park Tennis Centre, Melbourne, Australia 17 Mar 95

The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before

I'll take the varmint's path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me, and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before

I don't want to be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
We'll end up alone like we began

Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture
Spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what you want because I'm-

It's suppose to be just fun
Never to be tried, nor be a judge
I figure I'll be damned
All alone, like I began
